Scope

I want to setup 2 windows 2000 servers.Do I need to create a scope on the first server and assign an IP address before getting the 2nd server online. I was going to use 192.168.1.1 thru 192.168.1.254exclude 192.168.1.1 thru 192.168.1.10 for servers192.168.1.10 first Server192.168.1.11 2nd Serversubnet 255.255.255.0Gateway 192.168.1.2

OK, actually unless the server is a Domain controller or another enterprise service provider(e-mail sql etc) there is no requirement for the IP to be statically assigned.

As for the DHCP range. Well personally I just don't have the server range in the DHCP scope. E.g if you're going to use 192.168.1.1-10 for servers, just set the scope to 11-254.

another side note is that I tend to break out by subnet like this

1-10 network equipment11-20 Domain Controllers (even if you don't use all IP's)21-30 E-mail31-40 MISC servers41-100 reserved for other needs101-254 DHCP

You of course can tweek the actual ranges as needed but I've been in situations where I need a IP and can't get a sequential or grouped one. Plus this way you'll always know that a specific service type will be in a specific IP range.
